Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box transmission technology, and in particular to a packaging box reversing and channel-splitting transmission control device with data acquisition function. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of building product information systems for enterprises, coding and information collection during the production process are crucial links in achieving product traceability, warehouse management, and distribution control. Among these, the accurate collection of packaging box information and its reliable correspondence with product information have become key components for enterprises to promote digital management and intelligent manufacturing, and related technologies are being applied more and more widely.

[0003] Currently, common packaging box coding methods typically involve printing identification information (including barcodes, QR codes, etc.) on the surface of the box. In actual production processes, the coding location is often influenced by factors such as packaging design, production line layout, and operating habits, frequently resulting in the coding information being applied to the front and back sides of the box along the transport direction, rather than the ideal left and right sides. However, conventional automatic identification equipment (such as fixed barcode readers) is mostly installed on support structures on both sides of the production line, and its field of view primarily covers the left and right sides of the box.

[0004] Therefore, in application scenarios requiring the reading of front and rear side barcodes, current practices typically rely on manual intervention to flip or rotate the packaging box to adjust its orientation so that the barcode information can enter the scanning area. This manual intervention not only significantly increases the workload of operators and affects work efficiency, but also easily leads to problems such as packaging boxes stalling, piling up, or misaligning on the conveyor line due to inconsistent operating rhythms. This, in turn, adversely affects the production cycle and the overall operating efficiency of the assembly line, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient, automated, continuous, and stable production data collection.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the brief descriptions of terms in this application are only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise stated, these terms should be understood in their ordinary and common meaning.

[0021] It should be noted that, in this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a packaging box reversing and channeling control device with data acquisition function operating clockwise, as described in this application.

[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a packaging box reversing and channeling control device with data acquisition function operating counterclockwise according to this application.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, this embodiment provides a packaging box reversing and channeling transmission control device with data acquisition function, the device comprising: A first transmission line 100 is used to transport a packaging box along a preset direction. The packaging box has an information code sprayed on its front or rear side. One end of the first transmission line 100 along the preset direction is evenly divided into a second transmission line 110 and a third transmission line 120 that are independent of each other and have the same size.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first transmission line 100, the second transmission line 110, and the third transmission line 120 are all roller transmission lines, or belt transmission lines, and are composed of fixed baffles on both sides of the line, several power transmission rollers, and a transmission motor. They are used for horizontally transporting packaging boxes, and digital information, including QR codes, barcodes, and numeric codes, is loaded onto the back of the boxes during transport.

[0026] The width W1 of the first transmission line body 100 is equal to the width W2 of the second transmission line body 110 plus the width W3 of the third transmission line body 120, i.e., W1 = W2 + W3. The width W2 of the second transmission line body 110 is equal to the width W3 of the third transmission line body 120, i.e., W2 = W3.

[0027] The width of the second transmission line body 110 and the width of the third transmission line body 120 are the same as the width of the first transmission line body 100. The length of the packaging box is less than the width of the first transmission line body 100, and the width of the packaging box is less than the width of the second transmission line body 110 and the width of the third transmission line body 120.

[0028] The device further includes: A packaging box turning mechanism 200 is disposed at the middle position of the first transmission line 100 near one end of the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120. The packaging box turning mechanism 200 is configured to rotate the packaging box 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise in the horizontal direction.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the information code of the packaging box is on the back of the packaging box, if the information code of the packaging box is to be read automatically during the separation and transportation process, the placement direction of the packaging box needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the packaging box turning mechanism 200 is set at the middle position of the first transmission line 100 near the end of the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120. The packaging box is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise by the packaging box turning mechanism 200, so that the information code of the packaging box can be exposed on the outside of the second transmission line 110 or the third transmission line 120, thereby realizing the subsequent information code reading.

[0030] The device further includes: A packaging box pushing mechanism 300 is disposed on both sides of the first transmission line 100. The packaging box pushing mechanism 300 and the packaging box turning mechanism 200 are positioned corresponding to each other. The packaging box pushing mechanism 300 is configured to push the turned packaging box to the position of the production line roller of the first transmission line 100 corresponding to the second transmission line 110 or to the position of the production line roller of the first transmission line 100 corresponding to the third transmission line 120.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, considering that simply adjusting the placement direction of the packaging box cannot completely achieve the separate transport of the packaging box, the packaging box pushing mechanism 300 is provided on both sides of the first transmission line 100. The packaging box pushing mechanism 300 is used to push the package box that has completed the turning to a designated position. The designated position can be the position on the first transmission line 100 corresponding to the second transmission line 110, or the position on the first transmission line 100 corresponding to the third transmission line 120.

[0032] The device further includes: A packaging box code reading mechanism 400 is disposed on the outside of the second transmission line 110 and the outside of the third transmission line 120. The packaging box code reading mechanism 400 is configured to read the information code of the packaging box on the second transmission line 110 or the third transmission line 120.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the packaging box is turned, pushed, and reaches the designated position of the second transmission line 110 or the third transmission line 120, the information code on the packaging box is read by the packaging box reading mechanism 400 located on the outside of the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120, thereby realizing the information reading after the packaging box changes direction and is separated.

[0034] The device further includes: The field industrial control computer is communicatively connected to the packaging box turning mechanism 200, the packaging box pushing mechanism 300, and the packaging box barcode reading mechanism 400. The field industrial control computer is configured to generate control commands based on the packaging box conveying information. The control commands are used to drive the packaging box turning mechanism 200, the packaging box pushing mechanism 300, and the packaging box barcode reading mechanism 400 to work sequentially.

[0035] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the packaging box turning mechanism in a packaging box reversing and channel-separating transmission control device with data acquisition function according to this application.

[0036] See Figure 3 It is understood that, furthermore, in some embodiments, the packaging box turning mechanism 200 includes: The packaging box lifting pallet 210 has a disc structure. When the packaging box turning mechanism 200 is not in operation, the horizontal height of the upper surface of the packaging box lifting pallet 210 is lower than the horizontal height of the production line roller of the first transmission line 100.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the packaging box lifting plate 210 is located at the top of the packaging box turning mechanism 200, and rises and lifts the packaging box when there is a turning requirement, thereby temporarily stopping the first transmission line 100 from conveying the packaging box, thus providing a structural basis for subsequent turning.

[0038] The normal working position of the packaging box lifting pallet 210 is slightly lower than the height of the production line rollers, so that the packaging box can be driven by the production line rollers to reach the top of the packaging box lifting pallet 210.

[0039] The packaging box lifting pallet 210 is designed to be circular with radius R, the length of the packaging box is L, and the width is W, where 2R=W.

[0040] Therefore: the area of ​​the lifting disk S = πR 2 =π (W / 2) 2 =πW 2 / 4, and S>W×L / 2, then: L<2S / W=πW / 2=1.57W.

[0041] To ensure greater stability of the packaging box on the packaging box lifting pallet 210, the following specifications apply: packaging box length: W < L < 1.5W.

[0042] The packaging box turning mechanism 200 further includes: A rotating assembly 220 is disposed below the packaging box lifting pallet 210 and is rotatably connected to the packaging box lifting pallet 210. The rotating assembly 220 is configured to rotate the packaging box lifting pallet 210 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise in the horizontal direction when there is a need for separate conveying of packaging boxes.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the packaging box is lifted, the rotating component 220 located below the packaging box lifting plate 210 controls the packaging box to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise in the horizontal direction.

[0044] The packaging box turning mechanism 200 further includes: The lifting assembly 230 is located below the rotating assembly 220. The lifting assembly 230 is configured to lift the packaging box top pallet 210 vertically upward to a preset height when there is a need for separate conveying of packaging boxes.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting component 230, which is located at the bottom of the packaging box turning mechanism 200, provides lifting functionality for the overall structure.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 220 includes: A 90-degree right-angle motor 221 is disposed below the packaging box lifting pallet 210. The 90-degree right-angle motor 221 is rotatably connected to the packaging box lifting pallet 210. The 90-degree right-angle motor 221 is configured to rotate the packaging box lifting pallet 210 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise in the horizontal direction when there is a need for packaging box diversion and to return the packaging box lifting pallet 210 to its initial angle when the need for packaging box diversion is completed. The motor mounting base plate 222 is located below the 90-degree right-angle motor 221.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 drives the packaging box lifting plate 210 to rotate, thereby realizing the turning of the packaging box, and the motor fixing base plate 222 is connected to the lifting assembly 230 below.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 230 includes: Pallet lifting cylinder 231 is located below the rotating assembly 220. The pallet lifting cylinder 231 is configured to rise vertically to a preset height when there is a need for separate conveying of packaging boxes, and to fall vertically to a preset height when the need for separate conveying of packaging boxes is completed. A cylinder fixing base 232 is fixedly connected to the ground, and the pallet lifting cylinder 231 is mounted on the cylinder fixing base 232.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pallet lifting cylinder 231 drives the packaging box lifting pallet 210 and the rotating assembly 220 to rise and fall, and the cylinder fixing base 232 is connected to the ground or other fixed components.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the packaging box pushing mechanism 300 includes: A first pushing component 310 is disposed on one side of the first transmission line 100 and is configured to push a package that has completed its turn to the position of the production line roller of the first transmission line 100 corresponding to the second transmission line 110. The second pushing component 320 is disposed on one side of the first transmission line 100. The second pushing component 320 is disposed opposite to the first pushing component 310. The first pushing component 310 and the second pushing component 320 have the same structure. The second pushing component 320 is configured to push the packaged box that has completed the turning to the position of the production line roller of the first transmission line 100 corresponding to the third transmission line 120.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first pushing component 310 and the second pushing component 320 are located on opposite sides of the first transmission line 100. The first pushing component 310 and the second pushing component 320 are both used to push the packaged box that has completed the turning to a designated position so as to transport the packaged box to the second transmission line 110 or the third transmission line 120.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first actuating component 310 includes: The first pusher cylinder 311 is disposed on one side of the first transmission line body 100; The first cylinder pusher plate 312 is disposed on the pushing side of the first box-pushing cylinder 311; the first box-pushing cylinder 311 is configured to push the first cylinder pusher plate 312 horizontally a preset distance along the preset direction perpendicular to the preset direction after the packaging box completes the corresponding clockwise rotation, and then return to the initial state. A first photoelectric switch 313 is configured to detect whether there is an obstruction at a designated position of the first transmission line 100.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first photoelectric switch 313 obtains whether the packaging box has reached the designated position and performs the above-mentioned turning operation. When the turning operation is completed, the first pusher cylinder 311 drives the first cylinder pusher plate 312 to push the packaging box to the designated position.

[0054] The second actuation component 320 includes: The second pusher cylinder 321 is disposed on one side of the transmission line 100, and is disposed opposite to the first pusher cylinder 311. The second cylinder pusher plate 322 is disposed on the pushing side of the second box-pushing cylinder 321; the second box-pushing cylinder 321 is configured to push the second cylinder pusher plate 322 horizontally a preset distance along the preset direction perpendicular to the preset direction after the packaging box completes the corresponding clockwise rotation, and then return to the initial state. A second photoelectric switch 323 is configured to detect whether there is an obstruction at a designated position of the first transmission line 100.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second photoelectric switch 323 obtains whether the packaging box has reached the designated position and performs the above-mentioned turning operation. When the turning operation is completed, the second pusher cylinder 321 drives the second cylinder pusher plate 322 to push the packaging box to the designated position.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the packaging box barcode reading mechanism 400 includes: A first code reading component 410 is disposed on the outside of the second transmission line body 110, and the first code reading component 410 is configured to read the information code of the packaging box on the second transmission line body 110. The second code reading component 420 is disposed on the outside of the third transmission line 120 and is configured to read the information code of the packaging box on the third transmission line 120.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the information codes of the packaging boxes on the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120 are read by the first code reading component 410 disposed on the outside of the second transmission line 110 and the second code reading component 420 disposed on the outside of the third transmission line 120, respectively.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first code reading component 410 includes: A third photoelectric switch 411 is disposed on the outside of the second transmission line body 110. The third photoelectric switch 411 is configured to detect whether there is an obstruction at a designated position of the second transmission line body 110. A first digital reader 412 is disposed on the outside of the second transmission line 110 and is configured to read the information code of the packaging box on the second transmission line 110.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third photoelectric switch 411 senses whether the packaging box has reached the designated position of the second transmission line 110, and the first digital reader 412 reads the information code of the packaging box located on the second transmission line 110.

[0060] The second code reading component 420 includes: A fourth photoelectric switch 421 is disposed on the outside of the third transmission line 120, and the fourth photoelectric switch 421 is configured to detect whether there is an obstruction at a designated position of the third transmission line 120. A second digital reader 422 is disposed on the outside of the third transmission line 120 and is configured to read the information code of the packaging box on the third transmission line 120.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth photoelectric switch 421 senses whether the packaging box has reached the designated position of the third transmission line 120, and the second digital reader 422 reads the information code of the packaging box located on the third transmission line 120.

[0062] The working process of this device includes: First workflow: Guided by the guiding mechanism, the horizontal packaging box moves along the first transmission line 100 toward the packaging box lifting pallet 210.

[0063] The photoelectric switch of the horizontal packaging box installed on the packaging box lifting pallet 210 detects the arrival of the packaging box and sends the detection signal to the on-site industrial control computer. The industrial control computer sends a control signal to the pallet lifting cylinder 231 according to the set time. When the packaging box is just above the packaging box lifting pallet 210, the cylinder lifts the packaging box lifting pallet 210, so that the horizontal packaging box is separated from the first transmission line 100.

[0064] After the lifting pallet raises the packaging box, the on-site industrial control computer controls the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise.

[0065] After the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 rotates to its position, the on-site industrial control computer controls the pallet lifting cylinder 231 to descend to its initial position.

[0066] Once the horizontal packaging box is successfully rotated into a vertical packaging box and falls onto the first transmission line 100, the on-site industrial control computer controls the first box-pushing cylinder 311, which in turn drives the first cylinder push plate 312 to push the vertical packaging box forward, i.e., to the left side of the transmission direction of the first transmission line 100.

[0067] The vertically oriented packaging box continues to be transmitted into the channel of the second transmission line 110, becoming vertical packaging box 1. When it reaches the third photoelectric switch 411 in front of the first digital reader 412, the third photoelectric switch 411 sends a detection signal indicating the arrival of the vertically oriented packaging box to the field industrial control computer. The field industrial control computer then controls the first digital reader 412 to read the digital code 1 on the packaging box and sends the collected signal to the field industrial control computer for processing.

[0068] Similarly, the following applies: The photoelectric switch of the horizontal packaging box installed on the packaging box lifting pallet 210 detects the arrival of the packaging box and sends the detection signal to the on-site industrial control computer. The industrial control computer sends a control signal to the pallet lifting cylinder 231 according to the set time. When the packaging box is just above the packaging box lifting pallet 210, the cylinder lifts the packaging box lifting pallet 210, so that the horizontal packaging box is separated from the first transmission line 100.

[0069] After the lifting pallet raises the packaging box, the on-site industrial control computer controls the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise.

[0070] After the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 rotates to its position, the on-site industrial control computer controls the pallet lifting cylinder 231 to descend to its initial position.

[0071] Once the horizontal packaging box is successfully rotated into a vertical packaging box and falls onto the first transmission line 100, the on-site industrial control computer controls the second box-pushing cylinder 321, which in turn drives the second cylinder push plate 322 to push the vertical packaging box forward, that is, to the right side of the transmission direction of the first transmission line 100.

[0072] The vertically oriented packaging box continues to be transmitted into the channel of the third transmission line 120, becoming vertically oriented packaging box 2. When it reaches the fourth photoelectric switch 421 in front of the second digital reader 422, the fourth photoelectric switch 421 sends a detection signal indicating the arrival of the vertically oriented packaging box to the on-site industrial control computer. The on-site industrial control computer then controls the second digital reader 422 to read the digital code 2 on the packaging box and sends the collected signal to the on-site industrial control computer for processing.

[0073] Repeat the above two steps in a loop: The vertically oriented packaging boxes on the first transmission line 100 are sequentially redirected to the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120. Digital information on the packaging boxes is also collected on the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120 and transmitted to the on-site industrial control computer. Thus, under the control of the packaging box redirection and transmission control device with data acquisition capabilities, the redirection, collection, and mapping of packaging box information are achieved, thereby realizing enterprise information management of packaging box products.

[0074] The second workflow: Guided by the guiding mechanism, the horizontal packaging box moves along the first transmission line 100 toward the packaging box lifting pallet 210.

[0075] The photoelectric switch of the horizontal packaging box installed on the packaging box lifting pallet 210 detects the arrival of the packaging box and sends the detection signal to the on-site industrial control computer. The industrial control computer sends a control signal to the pallet lifting cylinder 231 according to the set time. When the packaging box is just above the packaging box lifting pallet 210, the cylinder lifts the packaging box lifting pallet 210, so that the horizontal packaging box is separated from the first transmission line 100.

[0076] After the lifting pallet raises the packaging box, the on-site industrial control computer controls the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise.

[0077] After the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 rotates to its position, the on-site industrial control computer controls the pallet lifting cylinder 231 to descend to its initial position.

[0078] Once the horizontal packaging box is successfully rotated into a vertical packaging box and falls onto the first transmission line 100, the on-site industrial control computer controls the first box-pushing cylinder 311, which in turn drives the first cylinder push plate 312 to push the vertical packaging box forward, i.e., to the left side of the transmission direction of the first transmission line 100.

[0079] The vertically oriented packaging box continues to be transmitted into the channel of the second transmission line 110, becoming vertical packaging box 1. When it reaches the third photoelectric switch 411 in front of the first digital reader 412, the third photoelectric switch 411 sends a detection signal indicating the arrival of the vertically oriented packaging box to the field industrial control computer. The field industrial control computer then controls the first digital reader 412 to read the digital code 1 on the packaging box and sends the collected signal to the field industrial control computer for processing.

[0080] When the next package arrives, the entire process is repeated. After n repeated work cycles, n packages are continuously distributed into the channels of the second transmission line 110, and the digital information of the n packages is continuously collected and processed by the field industrial control computer.

[0081] Similarly, the following applies: When the n+1 packaging box arrives, the photoelectric switch of the horizontal packaging box installed on the packaging box lifting pallet 210 detects the arrival of the packaging box and sends the detection signal to the on-site industrial control computer. The industrial control computer sends a control signal to the pallet lifting cylinder 231 according to the set time. When the packaging box is just above the packaging box lifting pallet 210, the cylinder lifts the packaging box lifting pallet 210, so that the horizontal packaging box is separated from the first transmission line body 100.

[0082] After the lifting pallet raises the packaging box, the on-site industrial control computer controls the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise.

[0083] After the 90-degree right-angle motor 221 rotates to its position, the on-site industrial control computer controls the pallet lifting cylinder 231 to descend to its initial position.

[0084] Once the horizontal packaging box is successfully rotated into a vertical packaging box and falls onto the first transmission line 100, the on-site industrial control computer controls the second box-pushing cylinder 321, which in turn drives the second cylinder push plate 322 to push the vertical packaging box forward, that is, to the right side of the transmission direction of the first transmission line 100.

[0085] The vertically oriented packaging box continues to be transmitted into the channel of the third transmission line 120, becoming vertically oriented packaging box 2. When it reaches the fourth photoelectric switch 421 in front of the second digital reader 422, the fourth photoelectric switch 421 sends a detection signal indicating the arrival of the vertically oriented packaging box to the on-site industrial control computer. The on-site industrial control computer then controls the second digital reader 422 to read the digital code 2 on the packaging box and sends the collected signal to the on-site industrial control computer for processing.

[0086] When the next package arrives, the entire process above is repeated. After n repeated work cycles, n packages are continuously distributed into the channels of the third transmission line 120, and the digital information of the n packages is continuously collected and processed by the field industrial control computer.

[0087] Repeat the above two steps in a loop: The vertically arranged packaging boxes on the first transmission line 100 are grouped into sets of n boxes and sequentially redirected to the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120. The 'n' digital information from each of the n consecutive packaging boxes is also collected on the second transmission line 110 and the third transmission line 120 and transmitted to the on-site industrial control computer. Thus, under the control of the packaging box redirection and transmission control device with data acquisition capabilities, the redirection, collection, and mapping of packaging box information are achieved, thereby realizing the enterprise's information management of packaging box products.

[0088] This embodiment has the following advantages: Through a packaging box reversing and diversion transmission control device and data acquisition system with data acquisition function, when the packaging box lifting pallet rotates clockwise, the digital information on the packaging box turns to the left side of the production line transmission direction; when the packaging box lifting pallet rotates counterclockwise, the digital information on the packaging box turns to the right side of the production line transmission direction. Thus, the coded information of the packaging boxes on the production line can appear on both sides of the packaging box's travel direction, allowing digital readers installed on both sides of the transmission line to read and collect the digital information of the packaging boxes, thereby realizing functions such as online reversing, diversion, and reading and collecting packaging information.

[0089] After the digital reader correctly collects the digital information on the packaging box, it can then match the packaging box information with the pallet information, thereby enabling the product information inside the packaging box to be recorded and traced throughout the entire circulation process from production, warehousing, channel distribution, store sales to consumers.
